What is my IP
Check your public IP address instantly. Detect your IPv4 and IPv6 address, internet service provider (ISP), and approximate location details with our IP Lookup tool.
About the IP Lookup Tool
The What is my IP tool by Coders Kit allows you to instantly detect your public IPv4 and IPv6 address. Along with your IP address, it provides detailed information about your network connection, including your Internet Service Provider (ISP), host name, and approximate geographic location (City, Region, and Country). This is essential for network debugging, verifying VPN connections, or simply knowing how you appear to the internet.
Understanding Your IP Data
Public IP Address
Your Public IP is the unique address assigned to your network by your ISP. It serves as your digital identity when you connect to websites and services across the internet.
ISP & Organization
The tool identifies which Internet Service Provider (ISP) owns your IP address. This is useful for verifying if you are correctly routed through a specific network or business line.
Geographic Location
IP Geolocation estimates your physical location based on your IP address. While not exact GPS coordinates, it typically identifies your city, region, and time zone accurately.
Why Check Your IP Address?
- Verify VPN/Proxy: Confirm that your real IP is hidden and your location appears as intended.
- Network Troubleshooting: Check if your ISP has assigned you a new dynamic IP address.
- Security Audits: Ensure no unexpected location data is leaking from your connection.
- Developer Testing: Verify region-locked content or localization settings for your applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is an IP Address?
- An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It identifies who is sending and receiving data.
- Is this my exact physical location?
- No. IP-based geolocation is an approximation. It usually maps to your ISP's local distribution center or a nearby major city, not your specific street address.
- Why does my IP address change?
- Most residential internet connections use "Dynamic IPs," which means your ISP assigns you a new address periodically. Static IPs, which do not change, are usually an extra paid service.
